Product Gym

I was laid off with many other tech workers in Q4 2022. Before the layoff, I enjoyed working with product teams and thought this could be a good time for me to transition from marketing to product manager. I chose PG over competitors because I liked the... Read More fact that they held your hand through offer and negotiation discussions as this was something I specifically wanted support on. Through the process, interview prep and courses however, I realized that I loved a lot of elements of product management (and the salaries), but marketing was still where my heart was. I decided to leverage PG’s courses, techniques, and guides to manage my application process. It had been 10 years since I’d had to apply or interview for a job and I found their guides and resume formatting support EXTREMELY helpful. Having other people in the PG community to practice interviews with, compare notes, and keep each other motivated through the ups and downs of navigating job applications and interviews was also a huge help. PG’s frameworks and interview questions prepared me to nail my marketing interviews and I received multiple offers. I accepted an offer for the target salary I thought was only attainable for product managers (!) and on top of that, my new job is with an amazing company that I’m so excited to work for. Getting laid off ended up being one of the best things that could have happened to me. I definitely credit PG with helping me achieve my dream salary and dream job; I can’t speak for everyone but I have undeniably recouped my investment in Product Gym and then some!

I am still trying to fathom my new reality; to finally work in Product with really smart people and solve real problems. For many years, I sat on the other side of the table as a Recruiter to listen to the stories Product Managers and Developers shared... Read More with me in awe. And for many years, I let the idea of becoming a PM die down; believing I was not competent or experienced enough to take the leap. But that quickly changed when I got laid off and had nothing to lose. I signed up for Product Gym and worked my ass off; followed the instructions and successfully landed a PM internship at an EdTech startup in Stockholm. And ugh, it was extremely tedious and challenging. There were days I was just done. But I kept pushing and pushing, because I had a community that always backed me up. I honestly don't think I could have done it without PG’s program, coaching and community. Every part played a huge role in shaping my new dream and reality–to become a skilled Product Manager. Today, I am working as Product Delivery Manager at an IT consulting firm and part-time CPO at a tech startup. And believe me, none of this could happen without the PG community. I am so grateful for the entire journey, and once again, thank you again for making this come true for me and countless others out there.

Almost 2 months later getting in to Product Gym, I got my first offer for a Product Management role at a Fortune 500 company. Product Gym works! Just like many of you, my journey started in trying to find ways through the internet to get a call and opportunities... Read More to interview for a Product Management role... I failed at that by myself, until I saw a YouTube search result from Richard Chen on how to format your resume to get a shot at a call from a recruiter. Even after that making the changes after watching the video, I still failed BUT once I made the uncomfortable decision to invest into Product Gym and followed every step of the process (no matter how time consuming it is) it led me to a recruiter, manager, and team that see's potential in my value with working with them and investing in me. Thank You Product Gym!

I joined Product Gym(PG) in April of 2022, looking to make the transition into product management and like most of you reading this now I read all the amazing reviews with a slight sense of doubt as to if it would really work for me given that my career... Read More background was one that was somewhat unconventional. I had also looked at other options on the market but what set PG apart for me was the fact that they really focused on the interview process, which was not something I heard being talked about a lot with some of the other programs I was exploring. For me personally in my past experiences my biggest challenge whenever it came to finding a job was simply actually getting interviews, and so it was mainly because of that value proposition that PG claimed to offer that sold me on the program. As I started in the program, I am not going to lie, the first 4-6 weeks were extremely hard, because it requires a lot of time and effort to really dig down and get through the preparation and training especially if you don't come from a field that is a natural transition point into product. But I stuck with it and followed the clearly outlined process to the letter and as time went on I started to see the results. By the end of the first month I was already getting multiple first round interviews requests a week, and over a 3 month period I probably averaged about 5-7 first round interviews a week, not to mention the ones that went on to subsequent rounds from there. This for me alone was worth the price of admission because as I mentioned I never ever used to get interviews, and so I am confident that if this could work for me then it could work for anyone else in a similar situation. So here we are, it is now August of 2022 and I have secured a job with a company that I am really excited to be working with. During this time I saw it happening for other people in the program but I still had that doubt in the back of my mind as to whether it would actually happen for me until it finally did. It’s still kind of surreal to me that in just over 3 months I made a complete career transition, where I will be earning significantly more than I did prior to enrolling in PG. Again it's really hard work and not an insignificant financial investment but the return on that investment has made it worth it in every way. I’m not one to usually write reviews but I am writing this because I know how this program has helped change the trajectory of my career and for anyone that is on the fence know that if you follow the process and put in the work you will most likely see results. Thank you PG!

Product Gym has essentially perfected the process of transitioning to Product Management. PG provides you with the technical skills, interviewing skills, and, most importantly, the necessary mindset to successfully navigate the PM job search. The PG community... Read More is supportive and willing to share their experiences to help you improve. The Product Gym approach really works! You will get job offers if you follow their step-by-step advice and tips... but it does require hard work and dedication to the process. The system has been clearly laid out by Product Gym but if you're not willing to put in the effort daily to progress, you won't get the results that you want. Lastly, I appreciate that it is a lifetime membership, which definitely makes the investment worth it!

I was looking at a variety of options initially and ended up following through with Product Gym (PG) mainly due to its insanely positive reviews. While it is tempting to dismiss the perfect ratings as suspicious (as one would naturally be when something... Read More has all 5-star reviews), I still took that risk and went ahead with PG. ... Boy, it was and still is the best investment I have made thus far since looking to transition into product. Not only was PG worth my entire investment, but it actually does deliver what it promises it will, given you adhere to their protocols and guidelines when it comes to getting a product position (or, at the very least, an offer). I was a bit skeptical at first, seeing that my background is something I wouldn't necessarily anticipate would transfer to product well, if at all (I worked in the upper echelons of Hollywood/show business), but the fact that I still managed to pull in several interviews (and then some) proves that PG does, in fact, offer a proven, time-tested strategy in breaking into product regardless of your relevant background. Now that I am here writing this review, looking back at all the "suspicious 5-star reviews," I can attest that they are not suspicious at all and, in fact, all well-deserved reviews that truly represent the sheer flawlessness of PG's system and strategy.

I cant thank ProductGym enough for helping me get into the dream role in my career. I have one offer secured and expecting 3-4 in few days. I really wish I had found this early in my career. The staffs are very helpful, and the community is awesome. But,... Read More one thing - Join only if you can put efforts. You cannot just join and think that you will land up with offers. As the name suggests, it is a "GYM" and not a "SPA". You reap what you sow. Show your hard work and PG will take care of the rest.

My journey with Product Gym has been one of the most rewarding and insightful experiences in my career so far. This has been THE most pivotal resource in helping me understand and implement the skills/techniques that it takes to land a career in Product... Read More Management - I would honestly be lost without this program. The staff and community have supported me through the highs and lows of transitioning my career in media/entertainment over to tech. Throughout my journey at PG it was stressed over and over again how important it is to trust in the process, and that really could not be more true. Though I initially had doubts and lacked confidence - in the end the skills/abilities I gained are only second to the astonishing amount of confidence I now have in myself as a result of trusting in the process. I cannot thank this gym (yes, gym) enough for pushing me in my career journey and helping me get this far. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is willing to grow, push, and empower themselves in order to get results in their career. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Product Gym has truly changed the trajectory of my life. The support, guidance and motivation from the PG staff and community has been tremendous and proves that the learning materials and course ideologies are truly the foundation for member success.... Read More I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from Rich and Cody and couldn’t have gotten this far without them!

Can't believe i am giving review right now as it wasn't long ago it was a dream for me to become a PM. I have made it now. The journey was full of lessons and on each critical moment PG coaches and peers were there with me to support. I was all over the... Read More place and applying without any structure earlier. After joining PG, I became more focused and structured in applying. PG provided amazing guidance in preparing for each round of interview and because of that i am here now with a PM offer. Thanks PG family for all support and guidance.
